Sluggish picture taking, unknown symbols on screen

\015 My camera seems to be very sluggish. It's not the batteries. I never got a manual so I don't know what the symbols mean. When I turn the camera on there is an exclamation point and a hand that has a little symbol which would indicate the hand waving. How do I clear this up? What does it mean?\015

Answers :

I just looked it up in my manual, and the exclamation mark with the waving hand means: 'There is a strong likelihood of camera shake because the shutter speed is slow.' The remedy to this is: 'Use flash photography. However, use a tripod for some scenes and modes.'\015\012\015\012It sounds like you need to adjust your shutter speed. I'm no expert and I consult my manual often, so if you need any assistance doing this or anything else, feel free to ask.

Camera problems I can see the different setting symbols on the screen and when I turn it off and on I can see the canon pic it shows upon coming on. However, when I take a pictures I can no longer see the picture I am taken on the screen and although it appears to have taken the picture the picture turned out black. This starting taking place after my husband changed my settings I cannot figure out what to do to change it back. Please help.

This definitely sounds like a defective CCD imager. If so, Canon should fix this for you for free, including free shipping both ways. This is regardless of your camera's warranty status. Please check the following two links for more info: \015\ ...

Broken screen I had the camera in my pocket and I bumped into a bench as I was walking by and the screen on the camera no longer works, it lights up, but only shows up white, It still takes a good picture, cause when I view my camera card, the pictures are there, Only I can't see anything on the screen when I take the picture, So I have to guess when I shoot a picture, Can I replace the screen myself? Where can I buy one? and is it fixable?

Screen problem?? Hello can anyone help? My camera turns on just fine and takes pics fine. Tonight while turning on my camera the screen is all white with some black lines through it.. and a leaf looking thing which is black. I see NO PICTURE at all. But when i take pictures and upload them to the computer the pics still work. But when i take the actual pictures or try to view any all i have is the white screen what can i do to fix this?

This sounds like a cracked screen.. a leaf you say? is the leaf a graphic, perhaps an icon.. is it centered on the screen at all?hmm.... I would take it to a certified repair center to see if they can replace the LCD panel. So ...

BROKEN LCD Today, I had my camera in my camera bag. Somehow, the screen got busted. I took out my camera to take a picture and the entire full screen view is cracked. The camera turned on and off just fine; it seems that only the screen was damaged. No images are shown when I attempt to look at the pictures I took and when I try to take a picture, I cannot see anything on the screen. Is the screen repairable or is it best to purchase a new digital camera?

Blurred screen when trying to take new pictures . when i review pictures in memory, they appear just fine, but i cannot take new pictures. I get a pink/purple blur across entire screen. I can go through the process of taking a picture, but everything stays that pinkish/purpleish color.

The camera was taking pictures a few days ago.

Now it won't do anything. no screen picture. no beep. no shutter. no "busy". dead as a door nail.

Canon SD 550-- sensor problem? Bought 3/2006 and have had no problems. Suddenly, LED screen went black--shows nothing and cannot take a picture altho will flash and record black picture. Shooting options do appear on screen when in picture-taking mode. Can see pictures that were taken previously, however, while showing them on TV screen, camera shuts off. Is this an expensive repair. Thanks.

The shutter of the camera is not opening that is why every picture taken is recorded black. It is a mechanical problem and probably has nothing to do with the sensor. Not very expensive ...

Unable to show the menu, the top screen does not show any number of pictures to take it only shows the brackets i have a 1gb memory card in. When i turn the camera on the shutter speed and f stop and other info appear but have noticed that the clock and the battery symbol flash for a short period and then the f stop and the shutter speed disappear but other info stays. I have replaced with a new battery but still have the same problem could there be a problem with the memory card. Thanks John Fo

It is possible that the small built in back-up battery is failing or has failed. This battery is built in and recharged by the main camera battery, three (3) days of charging will recharge it and it should last for approx one (1) month. For more deta ...
